This property in Dorset is perfect for a group of family or friends seeking a special break close to the Jurassic Coast (6 miles). It’s set within a 15.5-hectare estate comprising several lakes and a nature reserve, with plenty of activities to keep you busy. You can try out water sports including paddle boarding and kayaking, take walks or bike rides, or sit back and relax at the beautiful spa. Visit nearby Dorchester (6 miles) and uncover the market town’s rich history. Visit the magical coastline at Lulworth Cove or Durdle Door (both around 9 miles) and admire the beautiful rock formations. For long and satisfying walks with spectacular views, join the South West Coast Path (6 miles). With Maiden Castle, Thomas Hardy’s Cottage, Sculpture by the Lakes and the Osmington White Horse all within 7.5 miles, there’s plenty to do around here.

Step into this luxurious home and find the sociable and spacious lounge/kitchen/diner. Dual-aspect patio doors provide plenty of light to the room and give you lovely views of the adjacent lake and woodlands beyond. The stylish kitchen has a central island and plenty of surface and storage space so preparing meals for the whole group is easy. A handy eight-seater dining table is set in front of one of the windows. Once everyone has filled themselves up, spread out on the sofas and fire up the warming wood burner for a relaxing evening in. Finishing up the ground floor is a utility room, a shower room, and the first of the bedrooms – a beautiful double with a door leading outside. Upstairs, the further three bedrooms are plenty big enough for everyone to enjoy their own space and all have lovely views. Pick from a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room, a twin and a bunk room that works well for children. A family bathroom completes the interior of the accommodation.

Outside, the wraparound decked area has enviable views, seating and a BBQ so your group can spend relaxed evenings dining alfresco. The lawned area is fab for kids to burn off steam. There is one parking space at the property, with additional parking available in the main car park.
